Not a great name, especially as it misses out the 'Grim' bit, but here's a photo of one toting some LGB's:

Would those be the large, cylindrical bales favoured by modern farming? If so I think Barnes Wallis patented those in WW2. 617 used them to good effect.

So, if you get a few of them in the circuit together would it be, say, Kabul Combine?:)
